I have had zero problems but it's also near-zero effort to decide a prefix, document it and obey it.

I'm not going to have a month long discussion about this. So just ignore it. :-) --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJWbb9UAAoJEHGdadMkU5RQ2dAP/2x2HJPVtewe2nO7hDvpOamc kRa+eneWt37CManS9mnzkZjgYvq+HXtj4PP9AHP2iA9eO/t0K9n8Wqlo4dKGGayQ 9Orm7oF29NjG6rhwh70/MzsTOI7uud6Dg99FuQ1k7Tg+fJerIx4Rvkhi2L7U73eX knk8RUiMpdkL8Gh7nVlPzs1Rut31uaHsncT2+O1VzqMDtGKM8QKEuiyFQqgCWhzn P3Tl8lU7UmWmXVqlAXKWbtTL7NCRGB0/9ypEwO4dihJVLcyRWf+463tHAAlJav9Q S7goWZgWNSwMI8Tbm3qC9Z5Vphg9kMbWfpn2U/H37w+itegyGXAwaMn1iazyHbqj jRF2CoHIq1zU+Bja2mzAgXb+z0m2QedikPH6vX04gkUICSwgWhu0DMoyOfVMoWE2 crDD4mvZ6IuOqEpU84LXA6kL4aJLiEN82601ravcLhPvCEoVjm+ZzWZ+lotLL+qF /4z4J+TH//OXa8fIGqAYmOdZrl4uUeb+QKx0r01jpT4vZBIZ5USPTEheOfOdIxOk ya8Mo1jlzOuaLBIKd46t5l7lWsoWi8C2Z+DY9gbjuz7GE1OTGfEo0zN7MDRiFrZZ 8qY4gBRQcGva+tovG0w1tKr59sc05iQDHkb3+RzdnmiIGwIjUlstUhBVHIXya17n Nadehfm9VnfvW+0J+rjp =3DwV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
